Draw Tip Tuesdays - From Precious to Playful

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! Sketchbook Tour! In this freshly finished Etchr sketchbook I worked on 100% cotton paper in a square format. I'll flip through the pages I filled: urban sketches of a snowy city, experiments with negative space and foreshortening. Quick café drawings, experiments with water‑soluble ink, brush pen and watercolors. Plus the wonderfully messy process behind some favorite spreads. Along the way, you’ll hear about the surprises, challenges, and creative lessons learned. And how simply switching sketchbook formats can shake up your habits and spark new ideas. This sketchbook tour shows successes as well as “mistakes,” and I hope this video can change the way you think about your own sketchbook.
